GOP operative sentenced for throwing ballots in lagoon

I guess The Media is right when it insists the Republicans don't rig elections. Except of course when they do.

In last November's elections, a poll worker in San Francisco was caught illegally carrying away ballots, voter lists, and memory cards from the polling place. About 75 ballots were then found in a lagoon.

Turned out the guy was a big Republican. (Shocker!)

Now he's been sentenced to a year in jail and 3 years of probation. However, he was given credit for time served, so he was released from jail the same day he got the sentence. Why he was released, I'll never know, considering it hasn't even been a year since the ballots were stolen and stowed in the lagoon.

With the light sentence he got, something tells me the Republicans are going to be encouraged to keep at it.
